The most simple, overlooked fat loss “hack” is constantly walking.
To the store, to get coffee, between sets, while on calls, while doomscrolling, while working, etc.
Pair it with training hard & eating a nutritious, high protein diet.
Your body will transform.
I love the reactions I get when I tell people potatoes are healthy and a great choice for fat loss.
They’re low in calories. Higher in potassium than a banana. And literally the most filling food on the planet.
Instead of avoiding, make them a staple.
Leanest physique since my summer shredding contest in 2020.
Gave myself 24 weeks to lean out this year rather than 12 and wow what a difference.
Feels like I could stay here for as long as I want, I might even push it a bit longer.
No peptides or TRT btw.
Amazing how people still don’t realize there is no metabolic magic with intermittent fasting, keto, carnivore, etc. fads.
The fat loss always happens because of a calorie deficit.
This means it can be achieved without restricting food groups/eating in time windows.
Depending on your own physiology/health status you could certainly fix some underlying dysfunction with these approaches because it forces you to cut the junk out.
For some it will remove foods they’re sensitive to and hence improve gut health and hormonal function.
That’s why people seem to see situations where they feel they’re “eating more but losing fat”.
But again, this can be achieved without the rigorous approach.
The problem is the approach only works for so long, eventually most plateau a good 10-20+ lbs away from their goal body fat level.
This is a sticking point I see many people come to me at.
They have no idea why they stopped losing because they were never tracking the actual data that was driving their results.
With no data, you can’t adjust in order to move forward.
Usually the solution is to start tracking.
Eat more whole food carbs and put calories at maintenance intake for a good chunk of time to shift metabolic rate up and improve the hormonal situation created through the prior extended restriction.
Then we bring calories back down to deficit (but more than prior intake) and see fat loss resume.
The problem with people trying to do this on their own is they don’t have enough resilience through the time period where weight is going to have to remain the same (or go up) to improve progress going forward.
They end up in a never ending restrictive cycle or a binge/restrict cycle.
Have to have mental resilience and trust the process through this time if you want to eventually get to the big time results.
Been awhile since I’ve posted training clips so here are a few from today’s full body session.
If you want an example of what training to failure looks like on multiple exercises, watch to the end of the sets.
Been digging the cross body cable tricep extensions lately btw, highly recommend.
